out of a suitcase....

I know I´m one to take things for granted.... But as I finally wrap up my summer training sessions, I feel very lucky to be given these opportunities with my work. Now if I can just remind myself this again on Monday morning. =) Here are a few of my stops from the past weeks.....

Copenhagen- back to the motherland
Marseille- South of France
Paris- w/ quick stops at Notre Dame, the Louvre, Moulin Rouge windmills, and Eifel Tower

Casablanca- sunset view of the Mosque

Oh my- see you all in September and enjoy the Lake! I´ll listen to Rod´s greatest 4th of July hits in celebration of our great country!

Vietnam

The last stop along the way to Vietnam- Hanoi and Halong Bay in the Northern Part. What an adventure! Well we survived.... after a few crazy run ins with the locals, it was truly unforgettable. People, traffic, motor bikes everywhere. It´s a very un-developed place that is starting to become popular with the tourist. I´m not sure they´re ready for it. But we sure did have a good time!
